Humanizing stories

Photo ofAmi Vitale Hosted by Ami Vitale

In the beginning, photography was my passport to meeting people, learning, and experiencing new cultures. Now it is more than just a passport. It’s a tool for creating awareness and understanding across cultures, communities, and countries; a tool to make sense of our commonalities in the world we share. What has moved you? Share images you have taken or admire that tell an uplifting story the world would benefit from knowing.

@patriziabonfanti.pb Nice framing of a photo within a photo. The light was a bit harsh on the left part of the frame but its still an interesting image. Thank you so much for sharing!

@artistrebeccasobin This is a precious portrait of man and his dog. The connection they have with one another is lovely! Thank you so much for sharing!

@archana5412 Excellent graphic composition. I also like that you chose to make it Black and White. It allows us to focus on the drama without being distracted by the colors. The leading lines pull our eyes right from the bottom of the image, all the way to the top. Well done!

ami vitale

Lee, this is a stunning photo. I love the pop of the color against a monotone background. I love the composition as well so we can see the stunning mountain range behind the boy. Lovely!

ami vitale

@crstangayan Lovely fall colors! Well done!

@kkycc What a heart wrenching story for these women and children, Thank you for sharing this and its a beautiful juxtaposition of the joy from the baby and the conditions of the flat. You photographed this with sensitivity.

ami vitale

@christopherscottcarpenter Beautiful portrait! Nice colors and composition. Where is the crocodile you mentioned? That sounds like an incredible photo opportunity as well!

ami vitale

Rebecca! This is so funny!! That is indeed a very big spider and you definitely verified it! Well done!

ami vitale

@ishzgram Lovely! And so nice that you will bring him a print copy of the photo. Its so important that when we "take" photos, we also give back to the people who shared themselves. Nice!

@atphotobg This is such an incredibly moving photo. The bonds are deep between a mother and her child and their expressions say it all. You made this image with trust and sensitivity. This is a gorgeous portrait that humanizes a difficult situation. Thank you.

ami vitale

@joelthomas14 Your composition is excellent and matched the closed off feeling we have when we struggle with loss. The woman looks isolated from the world and no one can understand what that pain and grief feels like.

@surve_yuvraj So nice to see a glimpse of Srinagar again! Made me also reminisce about my time there. Thank you so much for sharing a beautiful moment from a place I hold close to my heart.

ami vitale

@harshit_sensor Thank you for sharing this story. It was photographed with empathy and gave us a window into the impacts that Covid had on some of the most vulnerable people.

ami vitale

@sandrarisi.photography This is a very nice portrait of a fisherman and bird. I really like your instagram account too!

ami vitale

@ebemisphoto this is a lovely portrait of a girl and her best friend! The joy on her face is infectious! Well done!

ami vitale

@tonywild_ke What a heartbreaking image of these beautiful creatures who have been forced into captivity because of this trade. Thank you so much for shrining a light on this important story.

ami vitale

Philip L. McAlary This is such a sweet photo of a man and his garage surrounded by all of his beloved tools! It reminds me of my own grandfather.

ami vitale

@_nyandia Thank you for sharing your colorful portrait and also taking the time to write a thoughtful caption. It was a nice window into your trip to Tanzania! It also tells a story of the world today to see a Maasai on a beach next to the ocean selling curios.

ami vitale

@philreeds Lovely image! The warmth on his face lit by the candles matches the warmth of what it must have been like to experience the devotion and energy of the people on the ghats of Varanasi. Bravo!

Ami vitale

@vivek1712 Thank you for sharing all your images of the lives of children living and working in the coal mines. It was a portrait into the hardships they face but also their spirit comes through. They want joy and love, just like all of us.

Ami vitale

@vivek1712 What a beautiful message and caption! Thank you so much for sharing this. I loved the colors and composition.

ami vitale

@burung_photography I like the connection between the guys supporting one another during this sacred ceremony. There is also an intensity in the expression of the man who is being supported. Thank you so much for sharing,

ami vitale

@hangingonyourwall I love the expressions on both their faces and despite looking away from one another, you know there is a deep bind between the man and his four legged friend. Lovely!!!

Kashka

Paul Abbah, your image 'Together' exudes so much joy that your siblings had during playing time. It captures the positive spirit of the day perfectly. Another beautiful work!

ami vitale

@ewanarnoldaphotography I love the lights and warmth of this photo. The warmth of the image itself fits the subject matter well.

ami vitale

@designs_by_ana_milena I love this image!! Sometimes the things that may seem like a photographic challenge (lots of harsh shadows) can create a beautiful surprise! Well done! You took something difficult and made it unique.

ami vitale

@julianor.tiz Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful image along with an important message of empathy and taking the time to relate to what others are experiencing. Understanding is needed more than ever in this world we share.

Kashka

Paul Abbah, that portrait is truly incredible. What a beautiful young boy with so much baggage already. I would have loved to see his smile. Child labor is such a sad reality around the world and we need to be reminded of it to help get rid of it.

ami vitale

What a touching photo to illustrate this unspeakable tragedy. Thank you for contributing this thoughtful image.
